Zoey suspected that he was deliberately trying to set himself up for injustice. He is sleeping, you can call tomorrow if there is anything.”
“Asleep?! You’re sleeping together now?” Over the earpiece, Sunny Qin’s voice could be clearly heard shaking. She screamed shrilly, “Zoey Baker, you seduced Jerry? Who was the one who swore that she didn’t care for him and didn’t love him anymore? You are shameless!”
Zoey clearly felt Jerry Xiao’s eyes on her, becoming more and more profound and complex.
The tip of the heart jumped, face slightly red, completely chaotic heartbeat.
He swallowed and choked before trying to make a calm voice: “I’ll hang up first. You can talk to Mr. Xiao tomorrow if there’s anything.”
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re doing. Next, he had already skillfully turned off the phone.
Looking at this series of his actions, Zoey’s mind was completely confused.
“She’s your girlfriend, and if you do this, you’ll only make her misunderstand.”
“Who said she was my girlfriend?” Jerry Xiao picked his lips and looked at her.
Zoey froze for a moment, unsure of what she meant.
Instead, he suddenly narrowed his eyes, with some playfulness under them, “Zoey Baker, when did you start liking me? Why did I never know?”
Zoey had intended to avoid the topic, but I didn’t expect him to bring it up.
I just felt my face burning like hot, try to focus my eyes on the road, lightly biting my lips not to answer.
Jerry Xiao, however, did not want to let her off so easily and continued to ask, “Why don’t you continue to like it?”
When I think of the day she said so firmly that she no longer cared about herself, Jerry Xiao’s heart inexplicably surged with discomfort.
Zoey was dumbfounded by the two questions he asked in a row and couldn’t answer. But he continued to ask himself, “Because you have a boyfriend?”
In the short words, there are a few darknesses that are hard to discern.
Zoey didn’t hear it, but felt that this answer was indeed the best answer for her, so she nodded along with his words, “That’s right.”
Jerry Xiao’s face became more and more ugly. Coldly snorted, “You women are always changeable, no one can give a piece of their heart for anyone.”
His sentiment caused Zoey to freeze slightly for a moment.
Is he referring to Nabi Yan with this comment? He must be complaining that she married her brother …
Without answering, Zoey drove the car to the Xiao Family’s door.
“Here it is. Better yet?”
He glanced at her heavily, still leaning unmoving in the passenger seat, and only spoke stiffly, “No.”
He’s angry? But …
“What are you angry about?” Zoey looked at him gamely in disbelief.
He froze, his brow converging down, “Who’s angry?”
He admitted that he was angry. However, what is angry even he himself is not clear.
Is it because she doesn’t like her anymore? Or is she mad that she has a boyfriend?
But, what the hell does this have to do with you!
Looking at him like a child, Zoey sighed helplessly, got out of the driver’s seat and went around to the other side to help him, “Be careful, if you still feel bad, you’d better get a doctor’s attention.”
The soft sound, like a dandelion scratching from the bottom of the heart.
Her slender arms, carefully wrapped around his waist.
He was so close to her that he could almost count her long eyelashes as he bent his head.
“Bang Bang -” “Bang Bang Bang -”
He actually heard his own heartbeat, at such a close distance, messed up the frequency. Even the breathing was unstable. The heart, as if, is derailed little by little …
…
Helped him into the door, Zoey fumbled to the light switch and turned it on, helped him sit down on the sofa. Looking at the large empty house, and then look at Jerry leaning on the sofa with his eyes closed and tired, his heart suddenly twisted hard.
“Do you even live alone?”
Jerry Xiao didn’t open his eyes, only heard her footsteps wandering around the hall.
The voice was soft, but struck his heart, inexplicably reassuring him.
At least, for now, he’s not alone.
“You should get a servant. Or …” she glanced up at him as she poured water in the kitchen, “Or, get a hostess.”
Jerry Xiao opened his eyes and looked at her, his eyes slightly cold. With a grunt, “Think I’ll have a sudden attack and just die?”
A word of death, he said as if it is sooner or later to face the thing. zoey heard a heart of shock, face pale a little.
Walking quickly towards him with a cup of hot water, she looked down at him with some anger, “How can you hang this unlucky word on your lips?”
Although the words are reproachful, Jerry Xiao is warm to hear. She looked at her with a tilted head, “Old age, sickness and death are normal. What’s unlucky about it? Give me the water.”
Zoey handed the water to him, “It’s hot, warm your hands first, cool them a bit before drinking.”
“Mmm.” It was rare for him to respond with such good manners.
Zoey was worried about him, but looked up at the time, it was already very late. The two of them are alone now, and if they stay, they are afraid that he will think that they have ulterior motives.
“You’re not feeling well, so why don’t you rest first. It’s getting late, and I should go back.”
She said goodbye to Jerry Xiao.
Jerry Xiao frowned and didn’t say anything. zoey thought he had acquiesced and turned to leave.
Jerry Xiao looked at the slender back in the dress, and then looked at the large house, an unspeakable loss exploded in his heart.
“Zoey Baker!”
I couldn’t resist, but I still wanted to call out to her.
“Hmm?” Zoey looked back at him, but was struck by the loneliness under his eyes. For a moment, astringency in his throat, his voice grew softer, “Is it still uncomfortable?”
“Yes. Very uncomfortable.” He leaned back on the couch and gazed at her quietly, “Come here.”
“But it’s getting late …,” he said, but his call was like a vortex that captivated Zoey .
She had a feeling that she would fall in again, unable to extricate herself … even though, it is possible to be rolled to pieces …
“You’re worried about your boyfriend being upset?” He was a little depressed.
“It’s not like that.” She hurriedly shook her head to explain.
“Then why don’t you come over here?” Jerry Xiao raised his eyebrows, “I have a headache, you can help me press it.”
For his request, Zoey really has no ability to refuse. It’s too late to say yes, both feet have already uncontrollably stepped towards him.
Seemingly satisfied with her obedience, his originally tightly pursed thin lips rose a bit, leaning his entire body on the sofa, she had come around to stand behind it.
Soft hands, circling his temples.
The pain between the eyebrows, with just the right amount of force, gradually soothed over, and he comfortably half-squinted his eyes.
The moment he opened his eyes, the too dazzling spring light in front of him, so that his body almost on fire. The most damaging thing is that she is still unaware of it.
Looking at his slightly changed face, she asked with an innocent expression, “What’s wrong? Does it hurt?”
What a way to go crazy!
He kind of understood, tonight he hand-picked this dress for her, is simply used to toss himself!
Jerry Xiao grunted heavily, grabbed the jacket he had tossed aside and threw it into her arms, ordering in a dark voice, “Put it on!”
“Huh?” Zoey froze and watched as he looked away uncomfortably, then looked at the clothes in his arms, before waking up as an afterthought.
The brain ‘boom-‘, the small face burst red, embarrassed to put on the jacket.
Just too anxious, simply forget the body of this too sexy dress …
Zoey was worried that he kept leaning, his neck was uncomfortable. So he sat down next to him, took a pillow and rested it on his lap, patted it, and gestured to him, “Lie down. This will be more comfortable.”
He raised an eyebrow.
If her look wasn’t so gentle and pure, he would have mistaken her for some other trick to seduce himself.
Obediently lying on her lap, pillowed with a thick pillow, obviously very comfortable, but he did not like. Solely impatient to throw the pillow away, can clearly feel her body temperature, he was satisfied with the hooked lips.
This way, so warm …
Warm enough to make him feel at ease.
For a moment, it suddenly seemed silly that a flare-up wasn’t such a bad thing.
Looking at him like a child, Zoey couldn’t help but smile as she resumed massaging him.
The atmosphere was so good that even the light became warm, and Zoey couldn’t help but ask those questions in her mind: “How have you been these past five years? How come you suddenly got together with her? Before … I didn’t even know he actually liked you.”
Her question seemed to have touched the depths of his sensitivity. His brow furrowed, and instead of answering, he asked, “Do you think it will be better?”
“I’m sorry …” thinking of Chuck Xiao, Zoey subconsciously apologized.
Zoey smiled bitterly and bent her head to look at him, “I never thought that you were the president of MY. The Xiao Family shouldn’t have gone out of business, though. What were you doing at that time?”
“Laid up in the hospital and almost died.” He replied nonchalantly.
Zoey’s heart fluttered. The hand that was holding down his temple froze. Some frightened gaze at him, “Is your illness … very serious?”
“I don’t know if it’s considered serious, it’s just the same genetic condition as my brother and my mother.”
He said it in a light-hearted way, but Zoey’s eyes were red.
Chuck died at an early age because of this disease. The thought of this Zoey heart is more difficult, as if the man in front of her, at any time will disappear from her eyes in general.
Jerry Xiao opened his eyes and touched her tears, and his heart trembled.
The voice that opened the mouth, but some cold and even stubborn, “crying for what? If it’s heartache or sympathy, better put it all away. I don’t need either of these!”
Yes! How could a proud man like him accept this?
In the face of illness and death, which time did he not say that the cloud is clear? As if he is always fearless. But what about his true heart?
I’m afraid I’ll be scared too!
Zoey sniffled heartily, “What did the hospital say? Is it treatable?”
Instead, he had changed the subject, “Do you know which company started the decision to divide up our the Xiao Family?”
“Hmm?” Zoey looked at him in confusion and shook her head.
He pursed his lips and didn’t answer again, just closed his eyes.
I don’t know how long it took until the sound of even breathing came down the hall and Zoey stopped moving her hands. He, surprisingly, was lying asleep on her lap.
Zoey looked at the peaceful and quiet him with greed, her heart has never been so satisfied.
Only then can she gaze at him with impunity, as she did that night five years ago, without regard for anything.
When you look at it, the phone in your bag suddenly rings.
